Fresh strawberries are now in season and are in abundance in our local markets.
Husby recently picked up a ton of the sweet, red fruit,
so I had some extras on hand to get creative with.
We happen to LOVE muffins in our house.
Of course, we love all other baked goods, too…
but I tend to make muffins nearly every week
for a good after school treat or to throw into the kids packed lunches
{they just seem healthier, so I don’t feel as guilty}!
We are quite fortunate to have Trader Joe’s stores here in California!
Luckily for the rest of the country, they seem to be spreading quickly!
Once you have the opportunity to shop there,
you will have a hard time returning to your usual market.
The selection of food is great…
especially for healthy items & specialty foods.
I love that they carry & label food products for people with special diets
{such as vegan or gluten-free}.
As a family, we do about 90% of our weekly shopping at Trader’s.
I personally love their produce & vegetarian options,
while the kids love their snacks,
& Husby loves their dried fruit, nuts & trail mixes!
Trader Joe’s seems so much more affordable for healthier food products.
I walk out of there weekly,
with my cart overflowing with groceries, for what I consider to be a fair price.
Although I have shopped there for years,
I still find new favorites all of the time!
I thought it would be fun to share with you several of the items
that make it into my cart each week,
along with a simple, yet scrumptious, dinner recipe {see below}!
